In Response to KESSEL NHL'S 1ST STAR : LOL!!! Like a groundhog!! Every once in a while, you pop your head out when he goes on a streak. Where do you hibernate when your idol is in sleep mode???Posted by Ronstar8

No thanks! I'll take Seguin, Knight and another top 10 pick. I think if you payed attention to the goals scored stats instead of having your head up Kessel's a $ $, you'll notice that the Bruins are among the top scoring teams in the league. What's your idol's handicap on the golf course? Along with backchecking, he will have plenty of time this summer to work on that too!Posted by Ronstar8

Well, I have the original poster on ignore, but I see some of the quoted stuff. Id take Seguin for Kessel straight up just to get Phil out of Boston. Ive said it before, and Ill say it again: Phil is a spoiled rotten brat who has always been told he was great. He's never had to work hard for anything, its been given to him. That showed when he played here and it shows every time he does an interview. He is a locker room cancer and the Leafs and Burke deserve him and the misery he brings. He is a selfish person, a selfish player and I am glad he is out of here. My only wish is he were in the dessert or someplace where I didnt have to see him or hear about him all the time. Kessel is at his peak and he'll NEVER be any better than he is now. Not unless he has a HUGE revelation and grows up. And its too bad, the guy has a ton of talent, but thats what happens where people get the world handed to them. They THINK they deserve it and it owes THEM.

Haha, sure... Kessel is a better goal-scorer than Seguin right now. But the B's have the 5th most Goals For in the league... Not to mention that I'll take Lucic and his soon-to-be 30 goals, reasonable cap hit, and passionate play over Kessel and his overhyped, defensively lacking play. If the Bruins had signed Kessel for $5.5M, we'd all be complaining about how the Bruins don't have the depth they need to win in the playoffs, which would likely be true.

Crawl back into the cave Bruins8 -- only a loser celebrates meaningless personal accolades amid a terrible season and one of the most embarassing +/- ratios in the league. Haven't you disgraced yourself enough here already with the teenage-girl Kessel crush?Posted by Fletcher1

Aha Fletch.You're operating under the assumption that Bruin8 has some semblance of pride.You watch when the post-season rolls around and he tries to pretend he's a Bruins fan again.He fooled me by not bringing up PK for a month or so.Silly me for not recognizing that it was more to do with a PK slump than with Bruin8 growing the hell up.His PK love has crossed over into the realm of fruitiness now(not that there's anything wrong with that).

Boston has no problem winning in the regular season and that is when Kessel is at his best. Boston needs to find a way to get it done in the play-offs and to win in the play-offs you have to have heart and guts. That is where I question Phil the Thrill. Let's see if he can prove me wrong. I hope he doesn't get a chance for awhile because I am a Bruins fan living in the Toronto area and I hate the Laffs.

Yeah, agreed. There was a point where bruins8 made this whole pledge to focus on the Bruins, put down the Kessel pom poms, and try to redeem himself as a poster.

Now, after he has been proven to be brutally wrong about Kessel, he comes back with "enough said" over a weekly star honor???
